perfect match

I was so busy laughing at Bohemian Catsody yesterday that I forgot to comment on the 270 Experience. Seeing it was high on my list of things I wanted to do on Odyssey. I do not remember how or why we didn’t go but we never did get there! 😱 I think I need to book another cruise on Odyssey to remedy that omission! 😂

I love Bohemian Catsody! I think it’s my favorite of all of the videos I’ve seen in any of your reviews!😹😹😹😹

I’m totally not a morning person but that said I’m planning to get myself there as close to 9:30 as I can manage. Fortunately DH is a morning person and will do his best to keep me on schedule. One of the few things I know I’m going to hate about Wonder is those bench seats in the AquaTheater! The similar benches on the other Oasis class ships are not a good fit for me. My feet don’t reach the floor and my back doesn’t reach the backrest. The back spasms that accompany the bench seating are not fun. I much prefer the beach chair style seating. I love ❤️ your thinking!

DH will like the heated pool. I might actually be able to get him to go into the pool at that temperature! Me, not so much. I’ll go in the pool with DH but do most of my swimming in the lagoon.

You had a great race! Thank you for the update. I’ve done a few Run Disney races when I was younger and before my knee and hip replacements. They were a lot of fun, Disney characters everywhere. Unfortunately, when discussing activities restrictions following my surgeries with the doctor he said no running or bungee jumping with a bungee cord around my ankles. Since I’m really not much of a runner and even the thrill seeker in me has no desire to try bungee jumping I really promised him I wouldn’t do either of those things! 😂

This looks like a great bachelorette party!🎉

Yes, please do! I’ll be looking for you.

Thank you for a very enjoyable and fun review. I’m sure Merida is as happy to see you as you are to see her. I know we hang onto our 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ a little bit tighter when we first get home from our vacations.

On our last cruise we didn’t arrive quite as early as you did but we had the same kind of traffic pattern. We were going around in circles, cris-crossing with the new incoming traffic. It was an absolute mess!

Hope you made your flight! The thing that makes me think you might have gotten there on time is that you’re not still posting here which I’m hoping means that you’re on your flight. Please let us know that you’re safely home.

Thank you very much for sharing your time on Oasis with us. I’ve enjoyed following along with you. I’m glad you were able to get the points you needed to qualify for your next casino cruise.

We’re on Wonder for our first time in September, so I’ll be following along. The Wonder cruise will complete our run of sailing all of the currently available Oasis class ships. We do have a date or 2 with Allure (B2B) coming up first though. 😀🛳️ I loved that ship when we sailed her on our first cruise following the restart. Edit: I just went back and checked your signature to see when you would be on Allure. We get off the day you will be boarding. 😕 Sorry we won’t get to meet you.

@Coralc, you beat me to it! 😂

I’m afraid of the menu at Wonderland, too. In my case it’s due to food allergies and also the fact that I’m not at all an adventurous eater. I hope I can get up the nerve to try it at some point because the overall experience does look like fun. I have food allergies and have been to brunch numerous times. Never preordered and that was never a problem. We’re on Allure in about 2 months and am hoping they’ll offer brunch at least on our 4 day segment where we have two sea days. It’s highly unlikely to be offered on our 3 day leg since we have no sea days. Guess I’ll find out soon enough.

Good for you, @Denversail! The dealer was probably glad to see him gone, too.

Congratulations, Rachel and Landon! 💍🥂🍾 Sounds like this bachelorette party is going to be fun! So far, both Disney and a special cruise are part of the wedding. My kind of wedding for sure. 😃

Allure is my favorite, too! I purposely chose her for this cruise because we will qualify for our first crystal block on the first leg of our B2B so that’s the block we will get. I just wish she was doing seven day cruises instead of these silly 3 and 4 day runs. That’s just not enough time on a ship like Allure!

I tend to forget that I’m not as young as I used to be anymore. I really enjoyed both activities very much while I was doing them, but after being as tired and sore afterwards I think I’ve gotten a little wiser and am no longer scheduling so much in one day.

Bill and Gina, you two are looking great!

We get our first crystal block in April on Allure. I’m excited to be getting it. I never thought we would cruise enough to make Diamond 💎 when we first started cruising, never mind get a crystal block.

It doesn’t surprise me that you’ve done your research on the NY subway 🚇 system. You’ll have no problem getting around the city. Thanks for the memories of Akashi Beach. We did a Segway tour to get to the beach with multiple sightseeing stops along the way. Next i went out on a SeaBob tour from Arashi. After that, some time on the beach for a swim and some refreshments. Our day ended when the owner of the company drove us back to the pier. I believe we visited our crazy aunt in the basement 😀 before we went back on board. I loved every minute of our day, but my arms were so sore from the SeaBob that the next day that I had a hard time doing my hair to get ready for formal night! 😂

You’re a real glutton for punishment in that casino! I learned a long time ago that I never win anything and I get really bored really fast when I don’t win anything. That is enough to convince me to stay out of the casino! I figure I’m way ahead because I still have all of the money I didn’t lose. 😂 The down side of my staying out of the casino is that I’m never going to get an offer for a free casino cruise. 😕

Definitely don’t rent a car in NYC! When we still lived in CT and went in to the city frequently we always left our car at home and took the train into the city, then subways to get around. As you would anywhere, just keep your wits around you and you’ll be fine.

Harry, my legs are screaming at me just looking at that rocky climb you did! In my much younger days I would have thought it was fun. Now, not so much. I will not choose that tour the next time we’re in Aruba. Good thing there are different kinds of tours for different kinds of people. Put me on a beach, I’ll be happy. Beach with good snorkeling, even better! 😎🏝️🐠

Good use of Disney transportation! Guess with a cat named Merida I shouldn’t be surprised that you know your way around WDW.
